The changing lines of hexagram 61

LineChineseLegge
3得敵,或鼓或罷,或泣或歌。The third line, divided, shows its subject having met with his mate. Now he beats his drum, and now he leaves off. Now he weeps, and now he sings.
4月既望,馬匹亡,无咎。The fourth line, divided, shows its subject (like) the moon nearly full, and (like) a horse (in a chariot) whose fellow disappears. There will be no error.
5有孚攣如,无咎。The fifth line, undivided, shows its subject perfectly sincere, and linking (others) to him in closest union. There will be no error.
